Thanks for posting this. I heard only two days ago that he had gone back to Holland because he was ill. I am so sorry to hear of his death. He was a man who contributed much to life here, with his walks, talks, Crusader tales, maps, and more and his leaving the island is a loss, but his leaving this world is an even greater loss.

If the family reads this but accept the love that many would be sending at this time, and who have no means of contacting them directly.

Spider, do you have an e mail address?

So sad to hear that news, enjoyed our very informative walks with Hans. R.I.P Hans.

RIP Hans.

Condolences to his family.

Marion I will ask for one, many I am sure would love to send a few words of comfort.

What a shock. How sad surely Hans was not very old ? I did not know how Ill Hans was.
Condolences to all Hans family and friends.

Our condolences to his family.

RIP

Enjoyed Hans contributions to the "44" forum !! Sad news.

What a shock, he was such a lovely man with a wicked sense of humour. My condolences go to Trix and his family at this sad time.
He was another of the islands characters, who will surely be missed.
RIP Hans xx

Very sad to hear this news.
I went on some of his walks and his knowledge of the Island's history was unsurpassed.
My condolences to his family and friends.

Like many, Hans showed us so much more about this island's history ..... and we really appreciated his wicked sense of humour.

Condolences to Trix and his family

Very sorry to hear this news but glad that he passed away with his family around him. You will be missed Dutch Crusader. Rest in Peace.

Really sorry to hear this, the Dutch Crusader contributed so much to life here, with his guided walks, his public talks and his general historic revelations. He also was a cartographer and produced very helpful and up to date maps of North Cyprus. I'm really sad to hear of his passing. Condolences to all of his family.

So sorry to hear this sad news. He was so knowledgeable about the history of Cyprus and made the walks so interesting. I also loved his magazine about the history. Although I didn't know his family, my thoughts are with them at this sad time.

Very sad news. Condolences to Hans family. A very learned and articulate man. He will be missed in NC.

So very sad to hear this awful news, only found out yesterday that he was ill.
A very special man who taught so many so much. Thought and love to Trix and the rest of the family.

What a shock, I didn't know that he was ill, but yes it is good that he was able to be with his family in Holland.Very. very sad. R.I.P.

That is such sad news. RIP Hans.

Yes Very, very sad news. Missed his topics on the old 44, was always a good read and very informative. Thoughts are with the family. R.I.P Hans, you are already sadly missed.

So very sad to just read the news of Hans. I have known him and Trix for many years. I only saw him a few weeks ago, getting results from hospital, a quick chat with them both and on their way, what a shock.My condolences to Trix.

R.I.P Hans, thank you for all your help down the years.

Ohh... noo.... So very sad to hear this. I have never met him, but always wanted to. He was always very helpful. Never managed to go on one of his lovely walks around the North Cyprus towns, wish I had had the chance.

what a loss to everybody... all our kind wishes to his family

I am still trying to get an email for Trixi from her friends, I am sure she will find comfort from the messages of condolence.
